"We've lived in Warsaw for ten years now, and we come time and again here to listen to classical music, to the great Chopin, Poland's pride and joy," Madalina Popescu, a Moldovan woman who lives in Warsaw with her family, told Xinhua. "How privileged we are to enjoy over and over again the creations of this beautiful mind."
Organized by the Stoleczna Estrada cultural institution and the Fryderyk Chopin Society, the concerts have been taking place since 1959, gathering about 80,000 viewers each season.
Born in 1810, Fryderyk Chopin was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist from the Romantic age, who wrote music primarily for the piano. His compositions are well-known across the world.
Visitors to Warsaw run into Chopin's traces all over the city. A Chopin museum in the old town, founded in 1954, was refurbished in 2010 and is now one of the most modern museums in the country, with collections displayed on five levels and the exhibition spaces -- including multimedia installations -- stretching over 15 rooms.
Since 2009, people can find 15 Chopin musical benches across Warsaw, which give the possibility of listening to Chopin's music by pressing on a button, and are located in places where the composer used to spend time while in the city.
